Now in its 10th year, Digital Day Camp is Eyebeam’s longest running program. DDC09 students will engage in lectures and hands-on workshops focusing on art and technology tools, careers in the field, and relevant social and artistic topics. Through their investigations, they will have the opportunity to research current themes in arts and technology, and develop their own project in response to what they discover.

Projects will be promoted through Eyebeam’s website, and through a final public event on Tuesday, July 28, 6PM.

This summer’s theme will focus on creative activism in an urban environment. Students will work with urban planners, software designers, activists, video artists, and even a couple of activist gardeners to dig a little deeper into the fabric of our city, to learn more about how can creatively activate it, and how we can use art and technology to change it for the better. Each student has been selected for their special talents as visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, or performers to contribute to a final project.

Eyebeam’s current programs are made possible through the generous support of The Annenberg Foundation, The Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK, The Atlantic Foundation, The Pacific Foundation, the Johnson Art and Education Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, Deep Green Living, ConEdison, Datagram, Electric Artists Inc.; public funds from New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency; and many generous individuals. Sarah Cook’s fellowship is supported by CRUMB at the University of Sunderland, UK. For a complete list of Eyebeam supporters, please visit http://www.eyebeam.org.
